I’m curious as to whether Des even used the product. I set up an account today for the first time, added about 20 events (soccer matches in the area) and then sent the link to myself. When I opened it up in my RSS Aggregator, I was able to add the events I was interested in to my Outlook calender with a single click. It’s August 13th in Missouri. Maybe Des has a wayback machine? The advantage I see to this product is that my users can choose to use an aggregator, Outlook or iCal or they can go to my site where I hope to have a weekly calendar up on my sidebar shortly. As soon as I can find a WP plug-in I know has to be out there. Found this site first and couldn’t let Personal Productivity advice like this go uncommented.

Cameron and I have talked about the concept of RSS based calendaring and contact services on our podcast The Personal Productivity Show.

We had a look at RSScalendar and RSScontact, and while both are good starts, we found that neither are there yet. Integration to desktop apps like Outlook, either now or in the future, will be mandatory. The drive to mobility is not about carrying gadgets, its about having access to our data. Thats why converged devices like the Treo or the O2 XDA IIi (I currently use one) are promising. But fact is that no matter where we are, we just want to get access to our information.

Having it in the cloud, and on your desktop and on your PDA and your phone, etc, is the goal. An RSS feed of the data is a great application.

Thanks for the tip – I’ll take a look at Airset myself.

You could try looking into Airset. I just started playing around with it today and I think it will do what you describe.

So, monket-calendar (http://www.monket.net/wiki/monket-calendar/) is not quite what you are asking but promise a lot about rss and things. Maybe it can be integrated with others…
